Katsudon (カツ丼), short for tonkatsu doburi or pork cutlet rice bowl, is a popular Japanese dish consisting of a fried pork cutlet with onions and egg on a bowl of rice. Although this dish is certainly tasty enough to make it worth making tonkatsu for, it is also a good way to use up any leftover tonkatsu that you may find yourself with. If you also have some leftover rice, this dish is super quick to make taking only a few minutes. I find that it is better to make the katsudon in a small pan rather that a sauce pan so that you can more easily slide the tonkatsu from the pan onto the rice such that the cutlet keeps its shape. You can easily add things like peas, green beans, spinach, shiitake mushrooms, grated carrots, etc.

I actually came to your site via DK's Potato Feast, and love it. Your donburi section was a surprise to see, and I loved your innovations with it (I love taco filling with rice, but never thought of it as donburi -- you're an inspiration!) I've bookmarked this to come back later too. Great site!

I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.
